What is the correct needle to use for the fabric I am using?

DIFFERENT NEEDLE TYPES

Universal	This type of needle is used for a variety of fabrics including woven fabrics.
Ball Point	Ball Point needles are specially designed to be used with knit fabrics, the tips of this needle is rounded, allowing the needle to pass between the fabric threads and separate them.
Denim or Jeans	A large needle, sturdy enough to sew materials such as denim, jeans, and canvas.
Twin Needle	This needle creates two closely spaced parallel rows, for a decorative effect.
Hemstitch or Wing-Needle	For fabrics such as linen or cotton, this needle creates small sized holes in the fabric and is the perfect needle for heirloom sewing projects.
Leather	Leather Needles are wedge-pointed needles designed specifically for heavier materials such as vinyl or leather.
